A couple of weeks ago we released Komodo IDE 7 Alpha 1 on an unsuspecting world. We want to get feedback on a couple of new features as early as possible so that we can incorporate the feedback in subsequent builds.

In other words: things might break, and things will change, but it'll be fun.

We've got some screencasts coming out in the new year, but to tide you over till then, here's a short one Todd Whiteman made demonstrating how to use comments in your JavaScript to give Komodo richer call-tip information.

Last week we released a nightly build of Komodo that has restored much of the project functionality from version 5. Over the last few months, we've heard loud and clear that you need to work with multiple projects simultaneously, and that you need to store references to files and folders in those projects.

Treat yourself to a holiday gift, and start the new year off right with the software tool or package of your choice. There's only two weeks left to save big bucks when you pick up an ActiveState developer tool! You'll save at least $50 per license until Dec. 31/10.

And remember: ActiveState helps you be more productive. A single license covers you across all supported platforms—so go ahead and install your software on your home and work machines, your laptop... anywhere that you're the only person using the software.
